If you ever fancied the idea of playing highstakes poker, then next weekend is your big chance, the HighStakes Special Sunday offering you the chance to turn freerolls into tournament buy-ins worth up to €500…

A whopping €175,000 is guaranteed across the day’s 23 tournaments, and 75% of the runners are expected to be freeroll and leaderboard ticket winners, with another 20% coming from satellites.

There’s no need to be put off by the HighStakes name and the sight of the occasional €5,000 buy-in, though, the Special Sunday schedule catering for all bankrolls – starting from just €5 and the chance to spin it all up from freerolls.

The Jack of Highstakes Freeze freerolls offer a golden chance to play the Special Sunday events for zero outlay, and can be found daily in the tournament lobby.

A quick peek at the 23-event schedule reveals a fine mix of Bounty KO’s, Turbos, Rebuys and Freezeout events, starting at midday with the Sunday Freeze 5 and ending with a late-evening 500 Second Chance.



That latter tournament already has Marc PlayingWitDreams Kennedy on the list, the former Full Tilt ambassador finding a new lease of life on HighStakes.

He’s not the only big name looking forward to a Special Sunday, however, with Joseph subiime Cheong in the starting line-up of the regular Sunday 500.

HighStakes ambassador Cheong snared his first WSOP title last month in Las Vegas, scooping the $1k Double Stack gold bracelet and a huge $687,782 payday.

Luckily for Cheong, he likely won’t be playing the €10 to €50 buy-ins that your writer is thinking about playing, the mid-afternoon Sunday Freeze 50 with a €2500 guarantee looking like a good bet.

The Sunday 88 will appeal to the Turbo Re-buy crowd, with a 10k starting stack, add-ons available and a €4,888 guarantee, while the Sunday Guanyin 10 is already filling up due to the €1500 guarantee.

Next Sunday it is then for a HighStakes Special Sunday. Get yourself registered here and see if you can spin up a few free entries before the 18th!
